GostHacked Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/11/21/former-aig-chief-sues-government-over-bailout/?test=latestnews A company run by the former CEO of American International Group Inc. is suing the government for $25 billion in damages over its taxpayer bailout of the big insurer.Former AIG CEO Maurice "Hank" Greenberg's current company -- Starr International -- filed lawsuits Monday in two federal courts against the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The suits accuse the government of taking valuable assets from AIG's shareholders without their consent or fair compensation, in exchange for the government's 80 percent stake in the company. The suit says the government's actions violate parts of the Fifth Amendment. Much of the $182 billion in rescue money that AIG got from the government went to pay the New York-based firm's obligations to big banks. So, AIG got a bailout, but are angry at how the bailout happened. I am not sure if this is hypocrisy or irony. So nice of this guy to sue the government that helped bail them out due to their failing business. Is this a "thank you" or a "f*ck you". ????
